State Peanut Monument

Turner County Peanut Monument

The peanut monument, located in Turner County, was designated the official peanut monument in 1998.  At one time, peanuts were the number one cash crop in Georgia and were largely responsible for keeping many Turner County families fed. In honor of the importance of the peanut, one of Ashburn's citizens erected what some call the "World’s Largest Peanut.” The monument is approximately 20 feet tall.
